1961年、フィデル・カストロはキューバの学校を1年間閉鎖し、小学校6年生以上の生徒と教師を全国に派遣して、他のキューバ人が読み書きを学ぶのを支援しました。その結果、わずか8ヶ月でキューバの識字率は約23%から3.9%に低下しました。
カストロ、学校閉鎖して識字率爆上げ作戦がヤバすぎワロタwww

One of the most interesting parts of this campaign is how they were putting literate students, as young as sixth graders, on the front lines of the education campaign. Educated urban children were being sent to the countryside to teach full-grown adults how to read.
Every problem can be solved fast and effective, you just have to think outside the norm, and have whole country behind you.
>Young teachers were sometimes murdered by insurgents in the Escambray rebellion due to their ties to the Cuban government.[22] There are numerous accusations that these militants were backed by the United States Government.[23]
Seems on brand.
Why did they need to be sent across the country though? Couldn’t each stay local and help teach their own neighbours?
Certainly an interesting method
Extreme problems often require extreme solutions. That is something that is often lost/ignored in the democratic process of Western countries that try to always find consensus or where one determined minority just blockades everything via legal tricks. But that often eventually leads to small problems growing into big problems, and before you know it, things are getting unstable and then some fascist idiots try to take over.
What was the result in the exams and higher education in the people who missed a year?
Wow how about that huh?
Each one teach one
I have a pic of my mom and her campo that she taught. She told me it was the most humbling experience in her life.
I mean, it’s hard to trust numbers from an authoritative regime. North Korea has claimed to have a 100% literacy rate for decades at this point.
As someone who has been to Cuba recently, trust me the people would much prefer to be stupider if it meant having electricity.
Cultural revolution if it actually worked and wasn’t led by braindead idiots
I find it hard to believe. It is very difficult to teach grown-ups to read, and one year seems too short. This numbers might be propaganda.
Typical evil communist regime! Uplifting impoverished people with education and a dignified existence. We need the CIA to keep poor people in squalor and ignorence!
So forced child labor?
Wow
“BuT aT wHaT cOsT?!?!?!?1!” /s
I kept misreading Illiteracy rate as Literacy rate and just letting getting confused at the post and some of the comments
too bad they can’t help you with your literacy
Love to be pressed into service by my government.
We should do this in America!
Communists love to talk about literacy rates.
Look at the history of Cuba, from Che to Fidel. The history is so crazy how is this something to admire?!
